Remember This?

Kotaku AU

Do you remember the game from this fragment of a screenshot? Leave your answer in the comments! I’m not sure if I should be leaving clues here given how quickly readers tend to guess the game, but here it goes anyway: it won’t be long until this retro gem isn’t retro any more.

      Yes! It is Karateka! Man, that did not take very long.

      Karateka is getting a remake, hence while it will not be so retro pretty soon. :)

      Well done, BloodyApathy!
